maybe they could have a pre season tournament with all the prem teams involved, all around the world, it is an unfair advantage if one game is in turkey or even africa and one is australia, which is a completely different time zone. A pre season cup is the way to go

I don’t know why Fergie’s talking about GAM£ 39 when
it was agreed less than a week after it was proposed
that it would never come to fruition. People left and right
criticised the idea and ridiculed Richard Scudamore,
including various MPs, Sepp Blatter [he usually likes stupid
ideas], Platini and the President of the Asian F.A.

Gotta love all the ABU cunts coming out of the woodwork on sites like 606 accusing SAF of double-standards.

Just proves none of ‘em have any fuckin’ intelligence!

English football sold it soul when the premier league was formed, this is just another example of the honest match goung supporter being screwed out of more money.
Scudamore looks at the premier league as a “product” rather than what we all see it as, a way of life for families for generations. The true fan is being forced out of the game and that to me is sickening.

Its laughable, only for the muppets are fucking serious.
It just shows the powers that be have absolutely no respect for the match going fans, or for the tradition of the proudest football league in the world.
The more this all turns into a business (a process that started a long time ago), the more it turns my stomach…

what’s wrong with 38 games?

Money would be the only reason for it and that appears to be another example of money contributing to the games demise as we know it.

If they want to market the Premier League a more sensible option would be to try and put together a Premier League XI and tour for some of pre season

Makes sense and I totally agree. There shouldn’t be a 39th game. It’ll throw a spanner into our the lives we love and know.It’s fine the way it is, I hope they’d leave it alone.
